Episode 437 of Airey Bros Radio is now LIVE on all podcast platforms — originally streamed on ABR YouTube on Feb 3, 2026.We're joined by Jim Giunta, Founder / President & Chairman of the National Collegiate Wrestling Association (NCWA) — the governing body that's helped create college wrestling opportunity for thousands of athletes across the U.S., Canada, and beyond.In this conversation, Jim breaks down what the NCWA is (and isn't), why we should call them teams/programs — not “club teams,” and how wrestlers can start a program at their school the right way (hint: it starts with students, not coaches walking into the AD's office).We also get into NCWA Nationals (massive brackets + big-show atmosphere), transition teams (schools moving divisions who compete through the NCWA), the rise of women's collegiate wrestling (folkstyle + freestyle), and Jim's newest project — the National Collegiate Grappling Association (NCGA/NCGAA) with rules designed to reward real takedowns and action.Powered by Black Sheep Endurance Coaching / ☕ Value-for-value: BuyMeACoffee.com/AireyBrosTime-Stamped Show Notes (Episode 437)0:00 ABR mission: spotlighting opportunities beyond the “Power 4”0:40 Show open + intro: Jim Giunta joins (NCWA Founder/President)1:58 Jim's background + NCWA growth overview (teams, athletes, alumni)3:05 Why the NCWA matters: real opportunity for wrestlers who aren't D1 roster locks3:55 Jim's origin story: Pennsylvania to Texas A&M — “we ain't got no wrestling here”5:58 Starting wrestling in Texas: early club roots + building infrastructure6:39 Why Jim founded the NCWA (late 90s) and how it started with 13 teams8:34 Teams/programs vs “club wrestling” — why language matters9:09 The Apprentice School example + athletic-department funded programs10:02 NCWA as a wrestling-only governing body (not distracted by other sports)11:20 NCWA “D1 vs D2” structure + what “emerging programs” means12:24 “Orphan alumni” and rebuilding programs at schools that dropped wrestling14:04 Want wrestling at your school?

In this powerful and eye-opening Torah shiur, we uncover the deeper meaning behind the Isur of Gid HaNasheh (the sciatic nerve) and its profound connection to Achdus — Jewish unity.Why was Gid HaNasheh chosen as the very first negative commandment given to Klal Yisrael? How does a mitzvah of not eating create one of the strongest forces of unity among the Jewish people? And what timeless message does this mitzvah carry for our generation?✨ In this shiur, we explore:How not eating the Gid HaNasheh unifies all Jews simultaneouslyThe powerful insight of the Sefer HaChinuch — the nations may hurt us, but they can never destroy usThe deeper meaning behind the words “Gid HaNasheh” — hinting to forgetting achdusWhy the Torah is teaching us that it is forbidden to forget unityThe Ohr HaChaim's insight that the sciatic nerve has no flavor — symbolizing that every Jew brings their own unique “flavor” to the nationA relatable and humorous insight about Jewish cookbooks and why they always seem to sell best

Krise! Verfall! Untergang! – oder doch nur politische Strategie? Im Zeitalter von Fake News, Feindbildern und Führerkulten berufen sich autoritäre Populisten weltweit auf den „Untergang des Abendlandes“ – und damit auf ein ideologisches Narrativ, das bis zur Antike zurückreicht. Der Politikwissenschaftler Prof. Dr. Lars Rensmann (Passau) zeigt in seinem Vortrag, wie Populisten von Trump bis Orbán mit Krisenrhetorik, nostalgischem Nationa­lis­mus und autoritärer Disruption arbeiten – und dabei gezielt auf klassische Bilder der Macht und Zivilisation zurück­greifen. Was als „Verteidigung der westlichen Kultur“ verkauft wird, erweist sich bei genauerer Betrachtung als Angriff auf Demokratie, Pluralismus und Menschen­­rechte.

Thousands of protests (not protestors; protests, themselves) are planned across the United States and even in Europe, Saturday, with dozens just in the state of Georgia. The ACLU has 'protest ready' resources aplenty for demonstrators to be prepared for multiple contingencies - not the least of which include addressing interlopers who wish to escalate the situation for ill-intent. It's going to be an interesting day, no doubt. ------This is all the more potentially a powder keg because Donald Trump 'invaded' California with its own National Guard troops and now hundreds of Marines, just a week prior to his military fetishist parade on the streets of the Nationa's Capitol to coincide with both his and the U.S. Army's birthday. It set a pretty toxic concoction on the counter. For Politico, Jim Newton opines there are reasons Trump 'had' to attack California. Namely that its transition from GOP stronghold to "majority-minority" Democratic-led heartbeat of the American economy just doesn't sit well with him, for starters. But there's more meat on that bone, so that carried a good bit of today's conversation. ------I mean, this may be nothing, but some pretty jarring statistical anomalies in New York's Rockland County has folks nosing around wanting to investigate further that jurisdiction's 2024 election results. They defy logic, and a judge is allowing the inquiry to keep going. Perhaps nothing there, but in the aftermath of the 'sour grapes' Elon tweets .... eh, we should keep an eye on this, no?

How much do you know about America's LSD-taking, goat-owning, hippie-dad who also happened to orchestrate the stalking, poisoning and mind-destroying torture of countless innocent US citizens?Well, today's episode will quickly get you up to speed on the United States' most powerful, and troubling, government official that you've probably never heard of, Sydney Gottlieb, the head of CIA's MK Ultra project. And, buckle up, because it's a wild ride!Former New York Times' award-winning investigative-journalist Stephen Kinzer has had a lauded, multi-decade career as war correspondent, author, professor, and perpetual speaker-of-truth-to-power through reporting on over 50 different countries, but his most recent book, Poisoner in Chief, is possibly his most ground-breaking work.Poisoner in Chief brings to light an incredible amount of new information about the previously unscrutinized head of one of America's most secretive, and disturbing, intelligence programs, Sydney Gottlieb.Get ready for a discussion of Nazis, LSD, poisonings, torture, club-feet, whore-houses, stalking and drugging of American citizens, corrupt cops, assassinations, mind-control experiments, communists, history of the CIA, and a bloody wake of ignored civil-liberties and pointlessly shattered lives all in the name of the "greater good." In short, it's about as feel good, fuck-yeah-America, patriotic of an episode as you can get!And, if listening to it gets your red, white and blue blood proudly pumping, consider also checking out any of Stephen's other truth-seeking non-fiction books, like:All the Shah's Men: An American Coup and the Roots of Middle East TerrorThe Brothers: John Foster Dulles, Allen Dulles, and their Secret World WarOverthrow: America's Century of Regime Change from Hawaii to IraqYou can also find additional Stephen Kinzer articles and information at his website stephenkinzer.com, and follow him on Twitter/X at https://twitter.com/stephenkinzerLast, if you support independent thought and discussion, please consider telling someone about the Independent Riot Podcast, and leaving us a 5-star review on whatever podcast player you use. Thanks!
